The Black Star Riders are back!! The band, featuring Scott Gorham, Ricky Warwick & Damon Johnson from the most recent Thin Lizzy Line-up, return with their sophomore release 'The Killer Instinct!'
'The Killer Instinct' was recorded at Rock Falcon, the studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The whole album was cut in 21 days, but after 'All Hell Breaks Loose' was done in just 12 days, that extra time proved beneficial.
"With this album," Gorham explains, "we could do a basic track, sit back, think about it, work on additional parts, and then lay 'em in there." The results speak for themselves.
"This album," Gorham says, "has more depth." Damon Johnson concurs. "We had more time, had a blast making it, and you can hear it. It's not just the groove in the music ? it's the groove in the writing, in playing together as a band." In fact, the album as a whole is a defining statement. Above all else, 'The Killer Instinct' proves that Black Star Riders is a classic rock band in its own right.
"We've come a long way in two years," Gorham says. "And you've got to feel good about that. I trust these guys with my life. We're like brothers, and that's a big thing in a band. When you have that trust in each other, that's when you've got a fucking great combination." The Thin Lizzy influence is still there but they are their own band now.
